Back caption: "Excursion Inlet." Excursion Inlet is in northern southeast Alaska in Haines Borough. There has been a fishery there since 1908 when Pacific American Fisheries closed its first Alaska cannery at Chilkat after the 1906 season and built a new one at Excursion Inlet. Robert Forbes was manager of both. A prisoner of war camp was located there during World War II.

Aerial view over water in the foreground with small village in the middle ground and forest in the background. Caption on front in ink: "AID(?)- Excurion Inlet - Alaska" The pontoon of the plane is also visible in the photo. A Pacific American Fisheries (PAF) cannery was established there in 1908.

Caption on front in ink: "XIP (?) - Excursion Inlet - Alaska" A small corregated metal building with a tall smokestack is in the foreground; a large wooden building with several bays on one side and six over six windows on the other side is beyond. A mountain rises on the left beyond the larger building. Very dark and gloomy.
